Now running a TA-49

[Limited-T]

So I finally made up my mind and bought a slightly used TA-49 from the local Buick guru. I'll be getting different injectors out of my dad's GN, but I just need to know if their is a minimum size I should run with the TA-49. I'd be getting a set 36lb. injectors. Thanks in advance for the input.

I run 42s with mine but I seen alot of combos running mid 11s with 36 pound blue tops.

Those are exactly what I'd be getting, so I needed to know if they'd be big enough for the turbo. The TA-49 came from a T-Type that ran mid-11's on it, but I think it had heavier injectors. Just don't want to end up with a bad combo and more tuning demons than I need!

Bluetops work well with a TA49, especially if they are free. I would however spend a little $ on getting them cleaned and flowed first and then get a good chip from someone. I like Bob Bailey's chips, you can get them from Mike Licht @ Full Throttle Speed, and Eric @ Turbo Tweak does nice chips also.

Also make sure you have a good fuel pump and hot wire kit to run those injecters.

My brother bought the car from the original owner, and he told me that it has a Walbro fuel pump. I'm not sure about the wire kit as I'd have to ask, but what problems would I have running a TA-49 w/ 36lb. blue tops without the wire kit?

[Mike Ruminski]

You wont have any problems a hot wire kit just puts direct power to the fuel pump from the alternater and will get more volts directly to the pump.Not something you have to do, just helps.

I ran MSD50'S, A 340 pump and had Eric burn me a chip. Car was a blast on the street 11.80's at 118mph with a horrible 60 foot, stock heads and intake. :arco:
